WHY YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT THE MAYAN APOCALYPSE!

Cinemavixion Review

Filmmaker Elisabeth Thieriot embarks on a compelling journey into the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala in "Why You Were WRONG About the Mayan Apocalypse!". This documentary challenges widespread misconceptions surrounding the Mayan Calendar and its supposed prediction of global doom in 2012. Thieriot engages directly with Mayan elders, or 'abuelos', who offer profound insights, dismantling the sensationalist theories that have clouded the ancient civilization's rich understanding of time. The film thoughtfully explores the concept of the Baqtun, a significant cycle within the Mayan system of timekeeping, providing a nuanced perspective that moves beyond simplistic end-of-the-world narratives. It's an invitation to look past the controversy and appreciate the depth of Mayan cosmology.
